Trafford's Trading Club

Liquid-like rolling black smoke was rising from the bottom of the altar.

Luo Qiu, who had experienced this not long ago, was not surprised. He directly went to the altar after all the hidden parts rose.

A card had been embedded into one of seven card slots--- Unlike the first time, the altar seemed to be more active; and the second suspending golden and silver card slowly flew into another card slot.

It wasn’t next to the first, but separated by two slots.

Did they have their corresponding positions?

Thinking about this, Luo Qiu looked up at the projection on the altar--- Which hadn’t changed since it appeared.

A dead pale sphere... the Earth.

When the second golden and silver card, given by the former boss, was embedded in its slot, the stopped time also passed by.

Because it was just less than a second--- Luo Qiu could accurately know his time.

His existence was no longer relying on metabolisms--- Because his life now depended totally on concrete value.

And this value was time. He had no fixed time, no fixed life. It seemed that some kind of accurate counter was hiding in his body.

So he knew his time(lifespan) more than anyone else.

...

"Nothing?" Luo Qiu frowned at this time.

The second golden and silver card didn’t bring him a surprise... The altar didn’t have any changes, so Luo Qiu subconsciously observed the new card.

But he vaguely realized something about the strange paused time. Luo Qiu closed his eyes to recall.

Nothing really happened?

No... A ripple, which started with the altar as the center, had swung open, like the droplets dripping from stalactites into the pool.

Its speed was incalculable, and it extended limitlessly to far distance, as if there was no end.

Luo Qiu had a feeling that maybe he opened... a gear.

...

Luo Qiu took two hours or more in the basement. With no results even after carefully thinking, he had to temporarily give up.

The former boss wouldn’t let Arex send the second golden and silver card without any reason... What’s more, the former boss may not know that Luo Qiu had gotten the first card by chance.

Maybe the purpose of sending this card was only noticed by him in the hidden part of the altar.

"Is it for arising my curiosity, and letting me collect the rest of the cards?"

He could only get this conclusion.

Of course, he didn’t think the former boss was scheming something--- Every club boss had their own mysterious sense--- like a Sixth Sense.

And the sense never made any mistakes since it was born.

Luo Qiu didn’t sense any malevolence in this matter. And Alex said the former boss... was dying.

"Master, you came back."

"Yeah. I’ve stayed there for a while." Luo Qiu responded, but he saw a different smile on Miss Maid’s face.

"Is there something happy that happened?" Luo Qiu curiously asked.

"Master, the border gate is opened, isn’t it a happy thing?" You Ye congratulated in a soft voice.

"The border gate?" Luo Qiu was astonished... Who knew what a border gate was.

You Ye was astounded, she touched her lips with a finger, "I don’t know... I think master have opened it."

"Take me to see what it is." Luo Qiu frowned.

He thought the border gate might be somewhere else, but unexpectedly it was in the hall of the club.

There were another two black doors in the modest hall, along with the old wooden door for customers.

They were standing on both sides of the hall, with no handles.

Qin Chuyu quietly observing everything was also surprised by the two doors--- Luo Qiu sat before one door, and pushed the door open without saying anything.

"This is..."

The upright black door wasn’t attached to the wall; Luo Qiu didn’t see a tunnel.

As if accessing another world --- Of course, it was just his feeling.

Because he only saw a black whirlpool through the door frame.

"Master, come with me, please." Miss Maid quietly said at this time.

Soon after, they came to the second floor of the club. You Ye smiled, "Master, the border gate is actually a passage for customers, allowing more convenience to customers so that they can come here at any time."

"Tell me the detail."

You Ye nodded, "Well, it’s similar to a network. There are club points in different places all over the world. As long as the customers go near those points, it is possible to become the guests of the club, and can call the door out through that point to directly send themselves to us."

"Transmission?" Luo Qiu was surprised, "Like I can go anywhere I want to go?"

Of course, places that Boss Luo wanted to go instantly was limited to just his own city--- But the distance may have increased.

Luo Qiu vaguely felt he could freely shuttle back and forth among several nearby cities--- After he had sacrificed those souls.

"Of course it isn’t a physical transmission." You Ye shook her head, "The customers who went through the border gate can use their spirits or souls to talk with the club. Well, master, now you can light up two ’points’."

"Only two?" Luo Qiu was stunned--- he thought the two points could start all border doors.

"Yes, one door matches one point." You Ye lightly said, "The border gate represents the increase of master’s ability, when your ability is stronger, you can light up more points."

Boss Luo subconsciously said, "How many points did the former boss have?"

You Ye shook her head, "I’m not sure, but according to the customers I had met, at least more than three hundred points. But only the boss knows his own amount."

"Three hundred..."

Luo Qiu was surprised by the number, but he knew how long the former had been the boss. He on the other hand...

Less than five months.

Luo Qiu could light up the existing two points or another two new points according to his interests. But once the point was opened, closing them would ’burn’ part of the boss’s lifespan as the price.

Why was it described as ’burn’?

Because it took a hundred years of lifespan to close one point.

The existence of points was quite merciful.. not.

Boss Luo subconsciously said, "How many points does the former boss have?"

’Three hundred points... Is our hall enough to stuff three hundred doors?’ Luo Qiu suddenly thought.

"There are only two border doors, but different points can be overlapped to the gate. So it won’t need much space."

"This is probably one of the better news I’ve heard." Luo Qiu nodded, "But let me think how to open the points."

Miss Maid had no opinion on her master’s decision.

Thinking about his remaining lifespan, if Luo Qiu opened one, he could not close for quite a long time.

Even if he could open more points in the future, Luo Qiu just wanted to control the amount... Or he might not even plan to open any.

300 points... what a great number!

But what if customers came in great numbers? Boss Luo would even have no time to even go to the toilet.

Luo Qiu suddenly realized why the former boss cared about nothing after transaction... Because the customers were too many, and he lost the interest in following-up those services.

The more the businesses had, the less time he would have.

Another problem was that You Ye had thought Luo Qiu was the one who opened this door---Since he could open it, then it might mean he was recognized to have that ability.

But clearly he didn’t have that recognition now, that was to say--- This was the promotion the second golden and silver card brought.

The club’s power didn’t need to be promoted; as long as the transaction succeeded, its ability would be endless... Thus, this was more like the lifting of a restriction.

Seven slots in all... Did it mean the whole function of the club would be unlocked if they gathered all the cards?

But Luo Qiu didn’t know what other functions did the club have, besides the ones needed to be used to complete transactions?

...

"Well, this can be explained downstairs, why come up to talk about it?" Luo Qiu suddenly asked, puzzled.

Miss Maid gently said with her beautiful blue eyes opened, "Since master is puzzled by these things, then how can I let others see master’s puzzled look? It would be embarrassing for Master."

You Ye... was really great.

Boss Luo suddenly wanted to say something, but the strange urge was watered down in an instant.

At last, he just smiled slightly.
